With some real studios completely shutting down steam games simply due to lack of population where they realize maintaining the server costs them more then they make with a few 100 steam users who buy nothing.
I mean let's face it marvel pulled it's recent game off steam, no matter how bad it was there was just no population and the complete lack of success is far more apparent on smaller studios.
Though I do get a chuckle outta the banana. Game that pushed the idle server user login to full effect to even make steam look stupid
Folks eating there can care less about the guy asked that, even if they stayed and eat or left for another restaurant.
Instead, could happen, if one want to think bad, that a developer that want to promote a successor of its multiplayer game, would tempest the forum with fake accounts insinuating the death of the game, to convice a bit of the playerbase of old game to buy the new game.
I say these things for say, maybe in some contexts you are right, but there are others where the idea of this topic would be useful, at least for the players, both who already own it and who don't own it and want to buy that old or not game.
"Hm new update to game, added features, etc"
*sees another topic asking if the game is dead*
"Oh we can't have this! This game HAS to be dead, no further research needed at all"
It can lead to a downward spiral where people come to the store page, see a number they don't think it's 'high enough' and don't get the game.
Game gets a low player count because no new people join in and no new people join in because the game has a low player count.
And no number is going to convince defeatists that 'their game is dying' anyway.
That's like his whole thing.
Word of advice. You're talking to a wall there. May want to check who you're dealing with there.
CS 1.6 Was great however the reality is more likely the servers are just running empty bot rounds over and over again due to people who created severs, custom servers exact. At 20 people. Literally if you took the time to install csm1.6 and did a server list you will see 1000s of empty servers with the exception of unlisted private servers. However and that is the major issue is just about every game has on its top 100 suggests 5000 - 15000 users, I remember several years ago telling steam it looked fake when they cap the top 50-100 at 5000 users on each game.
It's just nonsense with this company it has no real statistical information it's just all marketing deception. If steam really has these games full of players they wouldn't be empty when you buy one and go-to play it.
Silencing people for petty reasons just creates more anger and as a result more posts. As a game dev, if someone says something stupid that doesn't break the rules and doesn't hurt anyone, I just let them say it.
You can see this in a lot of gaming sections where people will be posting the numbers when the game is the lowest during the early morning or middle of the night. Then use that as an argument for the game is dying.
They ignore the 24 hour peak too.
Way too common.
